These two were constant companions during my time staying at Giulia's home.

Both on the other side of elderly and stuck in their ways, they amused me to know end. Pepe (il cane) was the first to greet me when I walked through the door and the last to stay goodbye. Tigre (il gatto) kept me company on my bed, rolling around leaving fur all over the blanket just so I would know that he had been there. I miss them dearly, it doesn't matter what language you speak: a dog and a cat will always know what you are going on about.
